Not an ideal choice for younger kids, this hip and violent animated feature from Disney was nevertheless a huge smash in theaters and on video, and it continues to enjoy life in an acclaimed Broadway production. The story finds a lion cub, son of a king, sent into exile after his father is sabotaged by a rivalrous uncle. The little hero finds his way into the "circle of life" with some new friends and eventually comes back to reclaim his proper place. Characters are very strong, vocal performances by the likes of Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane, and Whoopi Goldberg are terrific, the jokes are aimed as much (if not more) at adults than kids, the animation is sometimes breathtaking, and the music is more palatable than in many Disney features. But be cautious: this is too intense for the Rugrat crowd. --Tom Keogh

I HAVE EMAIL THE SELER 3 TIMES AND NO RESPONSE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO CALL ME OR EMAIL ME BACK THANK YOU Customer Rating: Summary: Lion King - where is it? Comment: It's hard to review this product as I have yet to receive it. It's been over a month since I first ordered it and it has yet to arrive. It was suppose to ship from a 3rd party, yet that has not happened. I am sure the product will be great, if it does arrive! Customer Rating: Summary: Disney...Greedy Genius Comment: Ok, I love Disney. I am a 22 year-old male. I have no shame about the fact that I love these movies. They were a part of my childhood, so now I am buying them. It's just too bad I can't buy the Lion King brand-new because of that STUPID vault!!! Sure, Disney has some genius minds that realize if they withhold something, people will pay more for it. But do they really need to? If my company had the money and assets like Disney does (considering they own ESPN) i believe that i would not lock up my greatest films just so I can sell them for 30 or 40 dollars five years from now. True, it's a smart move but it makes some of the fans resent them. I just wanna buy The Lion King. Customer Rating: Summary: Lion King Comment: I recently purchased this item from gassga568105 and not only did the product arrive promptly, but the quality of the movie was great. The Lion King is a Disney classic with memorable characters and art. I recommend this movie for anyone with children or adults interested in Disney cartoons.
